PCO pop-ups
Since the PCO threads keep getting deleted for unknown reasons, here’s another. Hopefully the mods don’t feel an insatiable urge to obliviate this one. Let’s assist them in controlling those impulses by refraining from soliciting offers to obtain PCOs for others IN THIS THREAD. Let this be a “sighting” thread only. If you find a pop-up PCO, please post here.
Hopefully this doesn’t offend anyone’s delicate sensibilities.

Links to addresses that were successful in inducing a pop-up can be helpful. Same with strategies -- disable pop-up browser, specific browser type/version, localities (in case region/IP address factors in) and so on. These could be helpful in assisting others.
I got some help, but eventually got my own pop up to help another by using Chrome in Incognito mode with a link someone else posted.

Are the PCOs good for any F series or just Super Dutys? I am still on the fence about which exact truck i want and will probably just have to order one. Wife and I drove a few over the weekend and have narrowed it down to two. If anyone gets a pop up i could definitely use the help, going again this weekend and hopefully driving my new truck home. I have signed up on Ford.com, requested brochures and used chrome incognito and nothing thus far.

The PCO's were being generated illegally, and then sold via FTE. FTE was being used as a point of contact to facilitate the sales of these PCO's, which isn't allowed.
So while FTE may not create a guideline that specifically covers PCO activity, the current guidelines allow us leeway in order to make sure the previous PCO activity doesn't happen again. It's sorta like ****. Ya may not be able to strictly define it, but you know it when you see it. Lousy analogy, but it fits closely enough for you to get the gist.

@Stewart_H - I'm confused on one thing still... while we shouldn't fry bacon naked, we can still eat it naked, right? Asking for a friend.

While I understand the onus to thwart the unauthorized use of the forums (that is, as a mechanism for sales), I don’t recall that all of the threads that were deleted had devolved into such unauthorized states. In any event, my intent in creating this particular thread, as I stated in its manifesto, was simply as a sentry for pop-ups. Hopefully that intent will be respected, and folks will refrain from soliciting offers to obtain PCOs. If anyone wants to solicit an offer, please do so in another thread, so THAT thread can be deleted.

As stated by another mod in another thread, some of the threads were deleted because folks were posting their email addresses (and other PII) publicly. That is against the rules.
Semi-related: I sometimes get random pop-ups too, when eating bacon naked. I'm thankful incognito mode protects me.

PS - But yes, the deleted threads did indeed have occurrences that made them fall into the "easier to remove" category.

Sorry if I was inadvertently asking for someone to "fry bacon naked" lol. I have no idea how these pop ups work, ive incognito-ed, scrolled, signed up for and recieved brochures and nada. But 3k would definitely help my wallet. I will keep searching, building and reading hoping for one, I apologize if i violated any rules as it was not my intention.

You did not.
The user who was able to unlock the coding and input the proper personal information, creating them for the purposes of selling them, was in violation.
